Do you have access to PhpMyAdmin or something to run queries direct on your database?
If so try running this SQL SELECT DISTINCT User.id, User.username FROM users AS User LEFT JOIN admirers AS Admirer ON (User.id = Admirer.user_id AND Admirer.approved IN(0,1)) LEFT JOIN friends AS Friend ON (User.id = Friend.user_id AND Friend.approved IN(0,1)) Can you play with the above to see if you get the expected results and report back to me? The idea here is to work out how we would do it without Cake then structure our Model::find to produce the same SQL.
